Q: Are you being sarcastic?

No: Ok cool!

Yes: This is the sort of random cool article I visit HN to see. I honestly couldnt give a shit about so called startup culture and the latest trendy javascript library or whatever. I am not web-app developer. I (like many other HN visitors it seems judging on the comments) am just interested in tech/science/computers/interesting miscellanea, and HN is a great quickly updating source of this sort of thing. Also I really appreciate the sites magnificent design. Also stuff gets on the main page here via upvoting, so obviously enough HN viewers liked this particular article.

ps. Sarcasm is not very easy to detect via text!
